Come on, at least try to understand what on earth those do to you & how can they help for acne.

1. Accutane - this is an isotretinoin which shrinks your skin’s oil glands to solve the oily problem. If you’re not careful, your liver might give way first before your acne gets away. Also, think for yourself what happens next when your oil glands no longer functioning.

2. Antibiotics - acne is caused by 2 strains of bacteria i.e. propionibacterium acnes & propionibacterium granulosum. So antibacterial activity that can clear off those 2 is sufficient already. As to why doctors prefers antibiotics that clears EVERTHING inside you, that I’m not sure.

3. Extraction - clogged pores due to lousy skincare & lousy cleanser can’t clear off those properly. Hence that’s why facial extraction is suggested just to clear off clogged pores & any other dirt that you didn’t properly clean off during the week. Basically doctor help you wash your face once a week for RM80.

4. Peeling - this is probably just exfoliating to remove old & dead skin to encourage new skin to grow & heal the acne scars.

Basically the doctor is just helping you to do what you should be doing daily by yourself. Hence that’s why it cost a bomb; their time, their service & their products.

My cleanser does #3 well while my serum does #1 & #2 well. So around RM50 a month only.
